Is it possible to create a PLEX server on a minix neo U1 android TV box?

Even if there were a build that worked (I’m not sure there is), that is so underpowered that you’d have to forego transcoding, an inherent part of the Plex experience. Setting things up to try and avoid transcoding (virtually impossible 100%) requires a lot of work, maintenance and compromises.
